After yesterday’s downer of a post, I thought I’d share the upside of getting a dilated eye exam. You can take super-awkward selfies of your dilated pupils while waiting for the doctor to come in. This look is somewhere between appearing a bit, um, high (and I don’t mean in the blood sugar sense) and doing an impression of an anime character, with those wide, glossy eyes that are almost all pupil. Hey, I had to do something to pass the time. Don’t act like you don’t do this too….

I can’t believe how much some stereotypes are true. I did not even consider taking a fun selfie so far – because my doctor told me to keep my eyes closed, so the pupils would actually dilate. So of course I did. Because why would I openly defy (and you have to imagine all my bavarian ancestors rotating in their graves at the mere mention here) a doctors orders!

Next time, though, I shall be anarchistic and brave and do the same. For science! (to appease the ancestors) and fun!
